EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Does anyone have a dictionary I've misplaced mine. I'm having a hard time following this thread. LOL. 
How does good analog differ from good digital
I agree with Bsal and will share some of the flak. I don't understand why audiophiles will go through all they do and spend as much money and time as they do in order to settle for second best, SACD and CD. I think everyone needs a CD player becau... 
VSA VR4 Gen III SE biamp questions.
What do you have the rear firing ambiance driver set at? If itÂ’s too low for your room it will cause midrange and highs to sound dry. Rob

Gladstone, are you an English professor or just bombastic? On previous posts that had to do with CDSD / DCC2 I tried to keep enthusiasm in check (I got slammed for it, but I expected that) in order to keep someone from ordering one based on hype i... 
Large Speakers Small Rooms
I have a 11 x 12 room. And Von Schweikert VR4jr. Not only is it small, but also almost square. I've been fighting with brightness for awhile now, but have finally arrived at a solution, I think. Oddly enough, the bass is actually tight and solid. ...

Hifi nut, I hope you didn't run out and get the EMM based on all the hype. If you got that kinda money put it into a TT and you will get much better performance ;) 
tonearm/cartridge set up question
The counterweight on my jmw9 tonearm is off center in order to give a level VTA. Rob 
What Music Takes You There?
4 generation of miles on redbook (Chesky). 
The music companies do something wrong
I agree with Elizabeth. I mostly buy used vinyl. Along with redbook, SACD is basically a way to sell all the CDs again, just an angle to get more profit from old titles. Anyone can get LPs for CHEAP and they sound better (assuming well recorded) t... 
use of treatments and sound consultant
I agree with Agaffer. There are very attractive room treatment options. They tend to cost more, but considering your equipment would be worth it. Rob 
Correlation: Money and Good Sound
There is a correlation between money and good sound. But it's not a guarantee. When someone tells me, for example, that the Meitner DAC and transport combo sound smooth and almost like vinyl, I say for $12k it better. Some actually think it makes ... 
phono cable suggestions..
A 4th for discovery. It's what I use.Rob 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Fbhifi, Why are you addressing your comment to me? I'm not going to buy either way as stated in my previous post. I just like to hear what's out there and being friends with my dealer I get to hear most of the promising new stuff out there. I'm ha... 
Jolida JD100 vs Simaudio Nova
The Jolida has a unique musical sound at that price point. Definately audition if possibleRob 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
I would have to agree with you FrankG. It sounds like the best redbook, SACD combo for that price range from what I am hearing ;) - My dealer will have a demo in soon. I can't wait to hear it. I'm not going to purchase but like to hear what all th...
